    Navorda MCP Connector · Your enterprise AI, connected to Navorda context

    Your enterprise AI, connected to your portfolio context.

    Your AI uses Navorda's context.

    AI can reason only from the context it can access. The Navorda MCP Connector lets your organization's AI work with the governed data, relationships, history and operational meaning already maintained in Navorda — without rebuilding that context in another system. It is powered by Navorda's native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, built on the open standard adopted by Claude, ChatGPT and the leading AI tools. The AI can never write, and landowner contact data never leaves Navorda.

    Included in Navorda Platform — no separate purchase, subject to per-organization enablement, per-user OAuth authorization and the tool scopes of the modules you license.

    The Problem

    Sound familiar?

    Copy-paste analytics

    Your team already asks ChatGPT and Claude to analyze portfolio data — by pasting exports into a chat window. The answer is stale the moment it's generated, and sensitive data just left your governance perimeter.

    Integration projects that never ship

    "Connect our data to AI" usually means a 6-month API project, a vector database, and a consultant. Meanwhile the questions leadership actually asks are simple: how many, how much, since when, compared to what.

    AI access with no guardrails

    Generic AI-to-database connectors get write access, see every column, and answer to nobody. Legal says no, and legal is right.

    Context, not another copy

    Your AI does not need another copy of the data. It needs access to the operating context.

    A conventional API exposes records and endpoints. The Navorda MCP Connector exposes data, relationships, governed context and purpose-built analytical capabilities — the record Navorda Platform keeps, as your AI can use it.

    Without Navorda, enterprise AI reasons from isolated documents, spreadsheets, exports and database tables. With the Navorda MCP Connector, included in Navorda Platform, the same AI reads development funnel, projects, milestones, governance decisions, tenant glossary, search and fetch — pinned to locked baselines, with the relationships between them — and land contracts, spas, risks, exposure, agent findings where the matching add-on is licensed.

    What "context" means

    Data alone is not enough.

    For an AI model, a date is a string and a status is a word. Navorda adds what makes them mean something.

    What the model receives as data

    • RtB = 15 June
    • NtP = 1 September
    • Permit status = delayed
    • Money at risk = €1.2m

    What Navorda adds: the relationships

    • which project the dates belong to
    • what baseline they are being compared against
    • which permit is blocking RtB
    • which NtP depends on RtB
    • which risk threatens the permit
    • which SPV owns the project
    • what changed and when

    That is the strategic value of the connector.

    Features

    Everything you need

    Plain-language portfolio Q&A

    "How many projects are in permitting?" "Which assets are past their RtB date?" "Compare this forecast against the September baseline." Your AI queries Navorda live and answers with your real numbers — no exports, no stale spreadsheets.

    17 curated read-only tools

    Purpose-built tools for the questions that matter: development funnel, project deep-dives, portfolio-wide milestone sweeps, governance decisions, land contracts, SPAs, the risk register, aggregated exposure, and agent findings. A Platform-only subscription uses the Platform subset; tools over add-on data activate with the matching add-on. Not a raw database dump — a curated analytical surface.

    Speaks your organization's language

    A glossary tool teaches the AI your tenant's vocabulary at runtime — your entity names, your development substages, your milestone catalog, your KPIs. If you call projects "Assets", so does the AI.

    Version-aware answers

    Every answer defaults to your official ruling data snapshot — the same one your reports use. Ask for a comparison and the AI reads any locked baseline side by side: "how did the timeline move vs. Budget?"

    Works with the AI you already run

    Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, Claude Code), ChatGPT connectors including deep research, Cursor — any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP. Standards-based OAuth means clients connect themselves; there are no API keys to issue or rotate.

    Navorda Analyst skill included

    A free, installable skill for Claude and ChatGPT Projects that teaches the AI how to query Navorda well: aggregate first, respect your funnel ordering, interpret milestones correctly, and present exposure per currency. Your team gets expert-level answers from day one.

    Security

    Read-only by architecture, not by policy

    Most "AI + your data" pitches ask you to trust a checkbox. The Navorda MCP Connector, powered by Navorda's native MCP server, is engineered so the trust question doesn't come up.

    No write path exists

    Write tools were never built, the only permission scope in existence is read-only, and a server-side lock rejects any mutation at the database layer. This is a product invariant enforced in six independent layers and pinned by automated tests — not a setting someone can flip.

    Off by default, opt-in per organization

    The connector is disabled until an admin of your organization enables it. Choose whether every user can connect or only a named allowlist — removal cuts access on the very next request.

    Standard OAuth 2.1, no shared secrets

    Each user authorizes with their own Navorda login and explicitly picks the organization on a consent screen. Access is pinned to that organization, tokens are short-lived and rotated, and there are no API keys to leak.

    Landowner PII never leaves

    Counterpart contact details — emails, phones, addresses, tax IDs — are structurally excluded from every MCP response, regardless of the user's role. The AI sees names and roles, never personal contact data.

    Every call audited

    Each tool call is logged with the user, the organization, the tool, and the connecting client. Admins see exactly who asked what, from where. Users manage and revoke their own connections from their profile — "Connected AI clients", one click.

    Rate-limited by design

    Per-connection throttling (30 requests/minute, 2,000/day) keeps AI traffic a well-behaved guest on your workspace, and role-based permissions still apply — the AI can only read what the connecting user can read.

    Access follows membership: if a user leaves an organization, their existing AI connections to it are revoked automatically. External AI clients access only the data authorized through the MCP connection; their own enterprise data-handling terms apply to what they receive. The platform-wide posture — Frankfurt hosting, encryption, identity, auditability — is on the security page.

    Getting Started

    How it works

    1

    Enable it for your organization

    An admin turns the connector on in Configuration → MCP Connector and decides who may connect: everyone, or a named list of users.

    2

    Connect your AI client

    In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector with your Navorda URL (https://app.navorda.com/api/mcp). Log in with your normal Navorda account — SSO included — and pick your organization on the consent screen. No API keys, no IT ticket.

    3

    Ask

    "Give me a portfolio brief." "Which projects have critical findings?" "What moved against the Budget baseline?" Your AI queries live data, in your vocabulary, from your official snapshot — and it can never change a thing.

    Example prompts

    Real questions the connector is built to answer

    No setup beyond connecting.

    "How many projects are in each development substage?"

    "Which projects are past their Ready-to-Build date?"

    "What's our total money at risk, by currency, and where is it concentrated?"

    "Deep-dive the Alcochete project: milestones, contracts, open risks."

    "Compare the current forecast against the September baseline."

    Frequently asked questions

    Yes. The Navorda MCP Connector is part of Navorda Platform for authorized, read-only access to supported Platform information from compatible enterprise AI clients — no separate purchase. Permissions, supported tools and organizational configuration determine what each user can access: the connector is off until an admin enables it, every user authorizes their own client, and tools over add-on data return results only where that add-on is licensed.

    No. MCP lets your own compatible AI read authorized Navorda context. Navorda AI — Navorda's seven embedded agents, running inside Navorda — is an optional intelligence add-on. A Platform customer can use their own AI through the MCP Connector without buying Navorda AI.

    No. The REST API and the Power BI Semantic Model Twin are optional enterprise-connectivity capabilities under Navorda Connect, for systems. The MCP Connector is included in Navorda Platform, for AI.

    Yes — the Navorda MCP Connector is powered by Navorda's native MCP server for renewable energy project development. Instead of a generic database connector, it exposes 17 curated read-only tools over governed portfolio data: development funnel, projects, milestones, land contracts, SPAs, risks, governance decisions and exposure — version-aware, OAuth 2.1-secured, with landowner PII structurally excluded from every response.

    The published read-only tool set. With Navorda Platform: development funnel, projects, milestones, governance decisions, tenant glossary, search and fetch. With the matching add-on: land contracts (Navorda Land), spas (Navorda Transactions), risks (Navorda Risks), exposure (Navorda Risks), agent findings (Navorda AI). Finance entries are not exposed through the connector, and neither are offtake agreements.

    No, and it can't be configured to. The connector is permanently read-only: no write tools exist, the only OAuth scope is read-only, and a server-side lock rejects any write at the data layer. Changes happen in Navorda, by people, with the full audit trail.

    Anything that supports remote MCP servers: Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code), ChatGPT custom connectors (including deep research), Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. Connection is standard OAuth — no per-client setup on our side.

    No. Contact details and identifiers for counterparts are structurally stripped from every response, independent of who is asking. This is a locked product decision, verified by automated tests on every release.

    Your admins. The connector is off by default per organization; when enabled you choose all users or a named allowlist. Each user additionally authorizes their own AI client and can revoke it anytime from their profile. Every call is logged.

    Your ruling (official) version by default — the same snapshot your reporting uses — so AI answers match your reports. Users can explicitly compare against any locked baseline.

    No. Navorda AI runs inside Navorda, watching your portfolio with deterministic rules — Navorda uses its context for you. The MCP Connector points outward: it lets your own enterprise AI read the same governed project reality — your AI uses Navorda's context. Same operational truth, two ways to use AI.

    No. Navorda Connect's REST API is application and system integration: programmatic access to supported resources behind governed authentication. The MCP Connector is AI-oriented access to curated Navorda context and purpose-built analytical capabilities. Systems consume Navorda data through Connect; AI consumes Navorda context through MCP.

    Ready to let your AI read your governed project reality?

    Models will evolve. Interfaces will change. The durable asset is your organization's context. Two minutes to connect. Read-only by architecture. Navorda never uses your portfolio data to train AI models — and every connection stays governed: per-user authorization, audit logging, structural PII exclusion.
